ATO veterans will study anti-virus and spyware programs and learn about hacking methods on the network. It is an initiative of the US Civilian Research and Development Foundation. Out of 500 applicants, 30 people were chosen. The course is designed for 4 months, after which the graduates will receive the state certificates.
“I am improving my knowledge and skills, because I work in the sphere of military communications and feel the need to expand my knowledge of cybersecurity. Therefore, I started to attend these courses”, – ATO veteran Vitaly Lazebnyk told DOM TV.
As head of the department for ensuring the activities of the National Coordination Center for Cybersecurity under the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) of Ukraine Serhiy Prokopenko noted, ministries, central authorities, strategic enterprises cannot always find qualified specialists.
